Twitter Suspends Account of Ilhan Omar's Challenger
---------------------------------------------------

Twitter has permanently suspended the account of a potential challenger
to Minnesota Democratic Congressmember Ilhan Omar, after she called for
Omar to be tried for treason and hanged in a now-deleted tweet.
Republican candidate Danielle Stella has been suspended for "repeated
violations" of Twitter's rules. Congressmember Ilhan Omar has repeatedly
received death threats, especially since President Trump tweeted about
her last spring.
